The High Frequency Ultrasound has a wide range of protocols available to study blood flow, localization, and direction, tissue motion over time, presence of molecular biomarkers, anatomy and size of 2D, 3D and 4D regions and cardiac and vascular strain. Our high frequency ultrasound systems give you high resolution - down to 30 µm while imaging depths up to 3cm at frame rates up to 10,000 fps.

Animal Care
The NIF Bioimaging Facility is committed to maintaining the highest standards of animal care and welfare. We operate in collaboration with Animal Care Services who provide pre and post imaging care.
All animal imaging procedures require approval from the UWA Animal Ethics Committee which incorporates a pre-submission discussion with both Animal Care and Veterinary Services and Bioimaging Facility staff.
